American Whitewater Expeditions

Chamberlin Falls on the North Fork of the American River. North Fork season will go well into June :-) https://www.youtube.com/watch

First North Fork trip of the 2019 Season is on the water at beautiful flows. Lots of rain overnight but managed to get on the water ahead of the coming spike in water. Two client rafts and a handful of safety kayaks.

First trip of the 2019 Rafting Season. Christian and Yuri kicking off the season. Great flows, not too high, bit cloudy with a few showers but everyone was comfortable in wetsuits, splash jackets and multiple stops with hot coco :-) Had the river to ourselves :-)

We are heading into what's gonna be an incredible 2019 rafting season with awesome water levels thanks to the 120%+ snowpack. The season starts in 3 weeks!!!! And we may even be on all three Forks of the American on 4th of July :-) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aVhsrl6tPro&t=36s

Its a gorgeous Spring weekend at our campground on the American River :-)

North Fork season is underway. Thanking the snow gods for the late snowpack and cold evenings. We should be rafting the North Fork well into May this season. Pics below are from a few days ago :-)

We have joined forces with our friends at Water By Nature offering the worlds best river trips in 13 different countries worldwide. Travel with the AWE Team to raft the mighty Zambezi in Africa, the Cotahuasi in Peru, the Tamur in Nepal and the Watut in Papua New Guinea to name a few. Arnie and Hamish @ WBN go back 20+ years and have a wealth of experience guiding clients down challenging river globally. Come experience the magic of a river journey most only dream about.

HAPPY NEW YEAR :-) Wishing everyone a remarkable 2018 filled with happiness, good health and lots of adventures.

We remodeled our restrooms over the winter :-) It was a fun project and took almost twice as much time because nothing would dry because of all the rain and humidity :-) Guides Christian and Matt made sure every shower and toilet worked properly! Check out the pictures.

First weekend of high water on the North Fork of the American - lots of very big rapids, lots of rafts, lots of safety kayaks, few flips, few swimmers and lots of class 5 action! This is going to be an awesome season on the North Fork - will likely run high till the end of June :-)
